I have graduated university and now am a lead litigator. I notice you have to get clients to represent. However, what am I suppose to do with the clients I get? I don’t see work assignments for those clients...

I’ve got a whole bunch of clients, but nothing has ever happened with them. I think it’s just a pay boost - the more clients you get, the more of a share of the firm’s profits you receive. Kind of a bummer since the notification when getting a new client says something about getting more responsibilities. Nothing has materialized yet, though. It would be extra cool if the name of the firm changed once your Sim makes partner.

I think that initially they had more plans for it because some interactions are like "research current case", but you never have any cases. Got to imagine it all happening.

Thanks! I have not seen any changes while gaining clients. It would be nice to actually be able to interact with clients on cases. Complete bummer .

@meraika I’ve found that if you chat them up with 5-7 friendly interactions before offering representation, it tends to be successful. It’d be cooler if other firms were also pursuing clients, so prospective clients could respond that they were already represented by somebody else. That’d light a fire under me to seek out clients quickly!

@popstarissa Thank you!! It would be really neat if they had sims who sought you out for legal help and you had to schmooze them up to get their business. You could research for their case and whatnot for work at home progress. Then when you went to work, in the rabbit hole, notifications saying if you went to court that day for a particular client and if you won or lost.

You might be one of the first players to explore the lawyer career. Maybe I can help anyway. How does the game ask you to get more clients? What is involved with getting more clients?

My sim is going for the private attorney career and he is in the Language and Literature degree path. I'm disappointed in this career if that's all that happens. :/

You can ask other sims in your social interactions with them. On the pie menu, in the "Friendly" interactions! You can choose a few selections, such as, "Meet Prospective Client", "Offer Legal Representation", "Chat about Scandalous Lawsuit", and "Discuss Complex Case Law". I'm not sure about how to successfully obtain a client though. There have been times that I have been successful at choosing "Offer Legal Representation" the first time , and other times were it has taken me several attempts, no matter my relationship level. So, if anyone has advice on that part, that would be excellent!
